Every time one of our politicians appears at a press briefing, South Africa waits with bated breath.
For some, the worry is when they will be allowed to open their businesses, whilst others are itching for a cigarette and a cold beer.
The subject of walking dogs during our national lockdown has also proven pretty divisive, but common sense would suggest that we are nearing a time when South Africans will once again be able to go for a walk with their beloved pooches.
I’m not sure who will have more pent-up energy, the dogs or the dog owners, but the basics of safe physical distancing will still need to be adhered to.
A good place to start is to make sure you have a proper leash, and the GoShine Leash by Petkit is designed specifically with control and comfort in mind.
The GoShine comes kitted out with a spotlight for night walks, a telescopic structure that allows you to easily control how far you want your dog to go, and most importantly, it has a one-press locking system that will help you to pull your pup back in critical situations.
No need to get too close to anybody else walking their dog, then. If you like videos that resemble the movie Tron, you’re in luck:
Other than that video above, here’s what else sets the GoShine Leash apart:
A good leash is always advisable, post-lockdown or not, and you’ll look pretty hardcore wielding one of these. I reckon it buys you some space on the Sea Point promenade, or along your favourite walking track.
The second thing you may want to look into is also functional and aesthetic. Those who have been denied their usual dose of retail therapy over the past month are probably itching for a release, so why not treat your dog at the same time?
Wearing your nice, new raincoat as we get ready for winter? Cool, hook your pooch up with the same:
I speak for us all when I say that right there is a good dog.
For those who prefer that fleece life, these warm winter jackets, aimed at smaller breeds, come in three different sizes and colours, with a fleece lining inside:
Look at that – everyone’s cosy.
Those products above are all available from Pet Culture, an online retailer based in Cape Town. They offer caring pet owners a range of quality, sophisticated apparel, beds, bowls and toys, guaranteed to keep cats and dogs happy.
You’re well covered, too, cat owners.
When the time comes, enjoy those walks outside, and make sure you’re following all of the advisable safety precautions.
